The Law of Attraction

Chapter 148: I\'m Here Love

"Oh God, what happened?" Gracy asked in shock while she watched Liam walking out.

Jorge and Miley both sighed. They were both shocked and flabbergasted at the situation. Everything that happened was unexpected. Jorge patted Miley on her shoulder and asked her to wait for him in the party hall while he immediately moved from his place to check how everything happened.

"I have to go first and will look into this. Liam will not let go of what happened tonight. Just seeing his furious looks… Someone has to pay for this..." Jorge told Miley and bid his leave to Miley and Gracy.

Gracy bit her lip. She saw how dark Liam\'s face was. But she had decided to make sure that her name would not be involved in all that happened with Lana. If someone had to pay a price, surely it would not be her. She smirked inwardly and thought, \'She has a disorder that won\'t fit Liam\'s status and personality! How weak! Liam would never like to keep such a weak woman by his side?? ever…!\'

"I wonder why was Lana in the elevator? She had gone to the restroom and why did she go to the elevator from there and didn\'t return to the party?" Miley whispered. Gracy did not respond, but only lifted her eyebrows.

"The main point that you missed is the mental state she was, in the elevator. The way she was shouting and hallucinating makes me believe she has some mental problems. I guess she has some kind of psychological issues due to some trauma from her past, or it could be genetic as well." Gracy muttered that made Miley turn at her.

"Trauma? Psychological issues? What do you mean, Gracy?" Miley asked with knitted brows.

"Oh… Liam did not tell you guys?" Gracy blurted as if she was shocked.

"What is it Gracy? Don\'t beat around the bush and just spill it out." Miley mumbled with a crumpled face. She hated how Gracy made it sound so suspenseful and morbid.

"The thing is a little serious Miley, I thought Liam must have told you all but… I don\'t know if I should say it or not… but if you insist I will. The thing is that Lana is not the biological child of Mrs. Huang, in fact she is an adopted child Miley, and her biological father is a drug addict and he killed her biological mother for money. Her father is a psychopath… A murderer… I tried to warn Liam about it before, but he said he was aware of all this and wanted me to not interfere in between their life.

Lana has a gruesome background Miley. She had undergone extensive psychological treatment and even some surgeries to correct her scars inflicted by her father. Today, after looking at her state, I feel her psychological state is not stable even now. I won\'t be surprised if it will pull your family name down just because of her biological parent\'s background. Her father is a psychopath who murdered his wife and was about to murder his daughter also, and who knows… Lana might inherit those traits… She obviously has some kind of disorder." Gracy commented in detail.

Gracy did not stop and continued, "Imagine how she hallucinated in the elevator right now? What if her father\'s face suddenly pops up when Liam is close to her and she ends up hurting Liam? The way she was reacting right now, I see it… It\'s possible, Miley. She obviously has the tendency to go crazy… I don\'t want to malign her. All I\'m concerned about is Liam and the Sy family. You guys are all that I now have Miley… The only family I am left with..."

Miley\'s eyebrows snapped, not to mention the flinching of her facial muscles because of annoyance. She did not like the way Gracy put up everything exaggeratedly, demeaning Lana and even trying to put bad feelings about Lana in her mind.

\'You\'re barking at the wrong person, woman! This would definitely not help in forwarding your agenda.\' Miley wanted to slap those words on Gracy\'s face. Her prideful attitude was really getting on the nerves now. She controlled herself to say any harsh words as much as she could out of her respect to Gracy\'s father, who was the opposite of his daughter in all aspects. But this time Gracy could not be spared without at least a small warning.

She turned and faced Gracy to look at her intently, frowning, she reiterated, "Gracy, I and my family would really appreciate it if you refrain from saying this kind of thing again. Lana is now a part of our family, regardless of her family background. Just now you saw with your own eyes how my brother loves her, unconditionally. You saw how he embraced Lana wholly despite the imperfections.

Let\'s respect that and I hope you won\'t meddle in their personal affairs.?And to make it clear to you dear, our family doesn\'t care about any kind of scandal. What actually matters to us is that our family bonding remains intact and we stay united for each other. Now if you\'ll excuse me, I have to go back inside to the party and represent my brother in his absence."

Miley then left Gracy hastily. She felt something spooky about Gracy\'s behaviour and she decided that she would talk to Jorge later about it and sort some things out. Miley\'s mind was not at peace after she heard all Gracy said and what worried her most was the way Gracy put everything in front of her, blaming Lana for something she had not done and even exaggerating it to the level of sky.

"What the heck is wrong with her? She even bothered to investigate Lana when we, who is the family of big bro, did not even think about it. That lunatic assuming woman must leave our mansion soon. I will have to do something to kick her out as soon as possible!" Miley rattled while walking inside the function room.

She found it disrespectful, when Gracy said those insulting words like her sister-in-law will turn into a murderer as well because of her father.

"Did she even know what she was saying, or she said all that intentionally to badmouth and defame Lana?"

She exhaled loudly. She wanted to know if what Gracy said was true at all. She wanted to know the entire story after seeing how her sister-in-law was hysterical and so much afraid, scrunched up in a corner and crying a while ago. She was too terrified and scared. And Miley was really worried about her now.

Meanwhile, Liam still held Lana in his arms tightly inside the car. She was on his lap with her head still buried on his chest, sobbing and murmuring a few words.

"I\'m here, love." Liam whispered repeatedly as he gently stroked her hair and lovingly kissed her head every now and then. Her body was still trembling, but not as much as before. She was no longer hysterical, but Liam could still feel and hear her little sobbing and her tears were still drenching his shirt.

He clenched his teeth while his jaw tightened. He would make those people pay, those who were responsible for making his wife suffer like this.
